I just got back from an auto x event Daytona International Raceway with the Fd. We ran the infield gokart track and it was a blast. The rx7 is such a joy to drive, even on my worn out rear yokohama sdrive from 2011. The goal was to have some fun, check the engine performance and cooling system. Very impressed with the setup. I can't help but to ramp about people who say that rotary cars are unreliable. I drove the car from Orlando to Daytona, ran it hard and drove it back from the event. Stayed tuned for the videos. Brap on rotards.
They are incredible. I just had mine down on the oval in homestead with Phil and his FD.... they are a blast. Last years Deal's gap was awesome. So awesome that my whole project was worth it. Incredible machines that one must drive in order to truly appreciate. Very happy its working out for you!

Deals gap
Deals gap is on my bucket list for sure. I wanted to go this year but was unable to get the time off from work. I hoping to go next year. That is awesome to run your car at Homestead. I would love to see a video of that. I hope to get down there in the near future.

Update
Nothing as of right now to report as of right now on this build. Currently researching tires and tire size for the Fd. Leaning towards some falken rt660. Front 255/35/18 on 9 5 rim and 295/30/18 on the rears on a 10 inch rim. Optional sizes may be 265/35 fronts and 285/30 rears.

New shoes
Well for those who follow me on Youtube know the rear end of the car was all over the place coming out of the turns at Daytona. Those rear Yokahama tires were from way back in 2011. The Yokahamas were 255/35/18 front and 275/30/18. The new tires are Falken RT660 255/35/18 and rears are 285/30/18. I will be back to Daytona and u am sure the car will put down much better times.

Wow thats way over there! I moved mine also. This reminded me though, I need to check and make sure the screws are tightened on the clamps and maybe add a bit of locktite!
